2 at last

Another birthday past for the year. Jhett turned two on Friday. We had a great day!!! Jhett walked around all day singing "Happy to Me" He loves the birthday song and has had plenty of opportunity to sing the song to half the family in the last few months. The kids and I made a mickey mouse birthday cake for him and he blew out the candles 4 or 5 times. He even blew out the flame on our candle on the counter a few time when he got up in the morning. When we told him it was his birthday that day he wanted to "blow candles" first thing. He is really getting to be a big boy and can tell us what he wants. Sometimes the things he says are amazing. I guess having so many older brothers and sisters helps his vocabulary!!!! We are sure glad he is apart of our family!!

Only Two Months

Well it has only been 2 months since I last posted anything. We have been busy doing all kinds of great things. Since then, Jaxon has turned 6, Shelby has turned 12. We have been to Utah 2 times for two quick weekends. I started my second year of teaching preschool with two classes instead of one, figured out how to make cute scripture bags that Tracy saw at a craft fair(they were $75.00 there...mine cost about $5-8) and had 16 people stay the night one night, with 13 of them being children. Not to mention PTO, church, BYU games and Aubri's running around now that Best Robotic has started up again. I am never bored!!!! Everyone is doing well and we are excited for the cooler weather. Jhett's birthday is coming up, basketball season will start soon with Kielee and Konner playing and we are trying to think of something great to do for the old man in our house who will turn 40 next month. If you have any great ideas, let us know. (Kevin never reads this blog so we don't have to worry about him!!)

Moving UP

Jhett is becoming a little man these days, he is cleaning the bathrooms,(well if you count spraying the mirrors with a squirt bottle and using a make-up brush to smear it all over, or dumping all the liquid soap on the counter playing in it.)carrying a phone on his hip and talking to everyone, and sleeping in a big boy bed. Yes Jhett is out of his crib and sleeping in a bed. Kevin and I went out and made the exciting purchase of a new twin size bed. Shelby was really happy because we gave her the new bed and Jhett got her old one. He doesn't go to sleep any better then he did last week but he still goes to sleep before midnight and he still takes a nap which I am really grateful for.

School starts continued

I didn't have enough room to add all the picture to the last post. Thought you would enjoy a few more.

Walking up to the school

Jhett is always ready to take a picture.

silly faces

Aubri was already at school but here is the rest of the troop before the day begun.

School Starts

On August 12, 2009 school started. Everyone was excited to go to school. Jhett was excited too until we dropped everyone off. Lucky for him he got to spend the first few days at the school as well since I am the PTO President at the elementary school. The last 2 days we have only had to go for a little while each day so now he wants me to play with him all the time. 

Jaxon is in 1st grade

Konner is in 2nd grade

Kielee is in 5th grade

Shelby is in 6th grade

Aubri is in 9th grade at the high school

Catching UP

Thought I should catch you up on the happenings at the NM Kinghorn home. We finished AllStars on July 27th. Kielee's team did great. They didn't win state but that was ok with us.  She had a fun summer playing softball 6 days a week and was sad to stop. She is now looking forward to basketball.

Check out Kielee's hair, it is full of dirt from her catchers helmet.

The girls had friends over a couple of days before school started for a sleepover. They made pizzas, talked and talked, watched movies and made dessert for us. I took them to walmart and gave them $5.00 a pair to make a dessert with. They had to get ALL the ingredients with their $5.00.  They did really good. We had Strawberry shortcake that Kielee and her friend made, chocolate covered strawberries that Shelby and her friend made and mud pie that Aubri and her friend made. They were all really good and I think they had a fun time.

We had rain on and off this summer which was a nice change. It hardly ever rains here. The kids had fun playing out in it a few days before school started.
